These 10 Women in Their 60s and 70s Defied Every Aging Stereotype—And Their Secret Weapon Will Shock You!
Laura BuckmanFor Hyrox, the duo must be able to push a 102-kilogram sled for 50 meters.
What started as a personal wake-up call quickly evolved into something bigger—a shared pursuit that strengthened not just the women’s muscles but their bond. “She’s always beating me, but I don’t quit because she’s there,” says Hennesey. “We challenge each other and keep each other going. Without fitness, we probably wouldn’t have a whole lot in common—we have separate families, different places of worship, and probably voted for different people—but I feel closer to Cynthia than I do to some of my other friends.” Hennesey goes so far as to describe their joint journey as spiritual, noting mood-lifting benefits that help with her depression.
The pair are scheduled to compete together in Hyrox in Dallas in November and have longer-term plans to hike Mount Kilimanjaro. Says Hennesey, “Now, I’m looking forward to growing older and having opportunities to do more.”
